Med Poetry Healing through Words

To Dr. (Afterwards Sir Edward) Wilmot

Posted in:

WITH doubtful strife, Humanity and Art

For conquest vie in Wilmot’s head and heart.

On his loved son Apollo did bestow

The healing power, and words to soften woe.

With sympathizing eyes and tender mind

He views the maladies of human-kind;

Reprieves the languid patient from the grave,

While Pity soothes whom Medicine cannot save!
